Is this a good deal? (Boggers trade)

Listed my boggers and wheels on Pirate as follows:

Set of 4 44x19.5x16 boggers. New cost is over $600 each when bought and have just one trip on them but I was very hard on them. I can provide pics. Asking $2000 for the tires. they are mounted on Trailready 16x10 beadlocks in steel 8x6.5 pattern. Set of 4 rims. They are black with the polished ring. Selling them because my mud bogger project is now a RCRocks race project and the tires i will run do not come in a 16" size. I'll be buying a new set in the 17" size. New they were at 258 each. Selling for $800 for the set of 4 beadlocks. Located in Keedysville, Maryland.

Got this reply:

I have a set of 17 x 9 wheels with weld on beadlocks. 8 on 6.5 pattern 5" backspace. I have four done and one more still in the box and needs to be welded. You willing to make possible trade? $2200 and my five wheels for your tires and wheels?

I did ask what beadlocks they were, condition etc but that was just a few minutes ago.

Are weld on beadlocks legal for rcrocs i mean are they the poorman beadlocks like i have

also depends on his welding skills and if they leak.

i would take it.....it is hard to sell things at a descent price now a'days, my $ .02

I think you could get boned easy with that deal your wheels are factory his are how ever good he is. Also are you running steel or alum on the rig for rcrocs race these are most likely steel but maybe not. Get some close up pics first would be my .02 .

ok I agree. No weld on beadlocks for me.

Normally I'd say no, but 16" wheels & tires are the red-headed bastard child of the tire world, whereas 17's are the "in" thing right now.

I'd want to see what kind of wheels he started off with, and what the new weld-on beadlocks look like though, before committing to the deal. My Bobby Long beadlocks were great, but HEAVY. Keeping your unsprung weight lighter for a race rig is a good way to make sure the tire stays in contact with the ground - you're not accelerating if the tire isn't gripping the dirt! (I know, "says the guy with rockwells!" But my 42's and wheels only weigh 135)

I think i agree wit Rich maybe take the trade and at least you have wheels for now to sell maybe easier to sell them then your boggers...

Boggers and Trailready beadlocks are gone.

nice

My preference would have been krawlers but this will be a good start and was very budget friendly. Next year I'll apply for the program through BFGoodrich to get krawlers....if needed.
